CHILDREN'S LITURGY
The Children's Liturgy is run by volunteers on a rota basis. We are in need
of more volunteers for the coming August session. Anyone can volunteer! As
it takes a little time to gain disclosure, we need to think ahead. Please
consider becoming a volunteer, especially if your child is currently in Primary
3 as they will be taking part in the Sacramental Preparation next year or
if your child will be joining our three to five year olds Liturgy Group in
August. If you are interested, please contact the Parish Office on 464063.
Next Sunday's Children's Liturgy helpers are Emma Paterson and Elaine Shaw
for the pre-5s, Maria Paterson and Ann Cassidy for primaries 1 and 2 and Jacqueline
Smith and Michelle Millar for primary 3.

Sixteen to twenty-one year olds are invited to join a group from Galloway
Diocese which will take part in the youth events at the New Dawn Scotland
Family Conference-Retreat in Saint Andrews, Fife from Monday 2 July to Saturday
7 July 2012. The week offers the opportunity for young people to celebrate
their Catholic faith with others their age through worship, talks, workshops,
ministry, healing, celebration of the Sacraments and Mass and prayer and a
pilgrimage walk to the historic ruins of Saint Andrew's Cathedral. The cost
is £90 including transport from Ayrshire, accommodation and meals. For
more information see www.GallowayYouth.org.uk
or contact Father Stephen McGrattan
at FrStephen@GallowayYouth.org.uk
or on 01290 421031.
50/50
CLUB
Please contact Myriame Sammons, the Promoter, if you would like to join the
50/50 Club. It is a valuable source of income for the parish, and gives you
a chance to win valuable prizes.
LAPEL
CROSSES
Cardinal O’Brien called on all Catholics to 'wear a cross with pride' these
days. We have a few lapel crosses available at the stall.
CHRISTIAN
AID BARBECUE
It
is hoped to repeat last year’s very successful barbecue on the afternoon of
Sunday 12 August. All the churches in Ardrossan will take part.
CHURCH REPAIRS
We
have a lot of maintenance to take care of. Lead has been stolen again and
the Church needs painting. Brown envelope donations stand at £2974.50.
ADVERTISER SUPPORT
Our advertisers would welcome your support. We are grateful for their continuing
sponsorship. We are grateful for the support of Mr and Mrs Sohal, Nisa Stores,
Glasgow Street for the weekly donation of tea, coffee and milk for the Sunday
teas.
THANKS
Celia, Janet and Allan Procter and families would like to thank everyone for
their support, cards and Mass cards after Dad’s death. Thanks to Canon
Matt for his kindness and Paul Stevenson and the Cheery
Cup for everything that they did.
USED PRINTER CARTRIDGES AND OLD MOBILE PHONES
There is a large green box in the foyer of the Parish Centre and a small box
at the stall where you can place all old printer cartridges and mobile phones
for us to recycle. Through recycling these we can raise some much needed funds.
Thanks.
EVENING
SAIL TO ARRAN
We
have had a couple of very successful evening sails to Arran and back. Just
buy a ticket and meet on the boat which sails at about 6.00 pm and returns
before 9.00 pm by staying on board. Alternatively, you could go during the
day and come back with us. Bring a picnic and perhaps something to wash it
down or buy food on the boat. If it is a wild night, just stay at home. It
makes no money but is a good evening out. The date will be arranged soon.
PAPAL
BLESSINGS
Papal Blessings for a wedding,
wedding anniversary or a special birthday can be ordered at the stall. The
price of the parchment and postage has gone up drastically. We now have to
ask £40 for the Blessing. Please leave plenty of time.
NEW
MISSAL
New Missals containing the new Rite are now available at the stall £7.99
or £9.99.
LARGE PRINT MASS BOOKS
Mass Books in Polish are available from the stall. Sunday Readings in most
European languages can be printed from the parish website.
NOVENA CANDLES
There is a nice selection of Novena Candles available at the stall.
BLOOD
TRANSFUSION SERVICE
The Blood Transfusion Service will be at Ardrossan Civic Centre on Tuesday
26 and Wednesday 27 June from 2.30 to 3.35 pm and 5.15 to 7.30 pm.
VISITORS
Are you visiting us for Mass? Please know that you are very welcome. During
the 10.00 am Mass there is a Children’s Liturgy provided for preschool children,
children in Primaries 1 to 3 and a Sacramental Programme for children in Primary
4. After the 10.00 am Mass, tea, coffee cakes and buns are available in the
Parish Centre. At all of our weekend Masses, we have a second collection for
our Parish Centre debt.
PROTECTION OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS - MISSION STATEMENT
The Catholic Church in Scotland is concerned with the lives, safety, wholeness
and well-being of each individual person within God's purpose for everyone.
It seeks to safeguard the welfare of people of all ages who are involved in
whatever capacity with
the Church and its organisations. As a Church community, we accept that it
is the responsibility of all of us, ordained, professed, paid and
voluntary members, to work together to prevent the physical, sexual, emotional
abuse or neglect of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
